found the single bonkman in his bone, bat veitborFOR SWATOW, AMOY, AND FOOCHOW the other bont nor the two lids that wore in it HE Steamship
were to be eer. With the one boatman he re- paired to the premises of the shopkeeper and naked for a settlement. But the shopkeeper said he had only secured the one man who remained, not the other two. And then, abruptly turning the tables, he demanded of the contractor what. had become of the two lada. The contractor, utterly taken aback by having the responsibility for their appearanos thus suddenly shifted to bía shoulders, stammered out that he did not kROW anything about them; upon which he was im. mediately aceted of, having made nomy with— mardared them. A terrible squabbla ensued; from arbich the contractor retired utterly non- pleal.
That, was not the worst of it; beforo jong he
heard that an old minn, the father, or at least repronted to be the father, of the two missing Inde had been induced to draw up potition to the Cholisien, and had gone into the elty to present it, representing the alleged orine of the
vstructor and praying for a warrant for apprehension. In this dilemma the terrified contractor sought the advice of a foreign friend, who recommended him to apply to the police to enquire into the matter. Meanwhile'n despatch bout was sunt of on the supposed track of the buat managed by the two lads, sand, sure enough, overtook it some 150 li from Shanghai, and brought one of them back to thangbai. On hi production at the Pulice Station to shopkeeper was apprehended, and the two were brought | up at the Mized Court the following morning, There, under ex«mination, the lid” who "had "Bren lost and was found” testified that on the
marsing when the trouble fint occurred, as soon as the contractor, satisfied by the asaraned of tlie shopkeeper that he would see all settled the following morning, bad gone away, the latter
nrged and insisted on their immediate departare for the country, and they leftaccordingly. It was plain that be had nood this device to pnt them ont of the way, iu order that he might fasten 'the atrosións charge of mardor en the contràe- tor. And, but for the good fortune of the dea patel bunt in fuding the pissing anea, it night have gone bord with the contractor, fur, even if be eatuped the capital obargo, it would have been after a rninona squeezing at the ramen. But, be neath this deep artifice of the shopkeeper, there. is believed to have boun a lower depth of con- spicy Facts cropped out which male it out unlikely that as the bottoms of a plot which touched so pearly the life of a fellow man, WAS the rival antract who sold the night-soil to the botmen, and who, all other means failing took this desperate plan to oust his rival from the district formed by bio.
After hering the enme, the dixed Court magistrate advised the injured man to draw op n petition tho Chébaieu embodying the facte, which, with the shopkeeper, should be forth- with sont to that functionary. But whether the administration of the model law
Chia will result in the punishment of those who hatched this outrageous plut, le, auferta- nately, problematical.
